Can you name the artists who had UK number 1 singles in the 70s?

Post by tiger76 » Tue Feb 02, 2021 10:18 pm

Another of your favourite quizzes, as I know you all love them so much :)

I got 47/125, but the 70's isn't really my era, so I fully expect most of you to fare better.

Didn't do the quiz because I couldn't be bothered typing it all out. I read through the list and know all the answers but two:- "Free" and "One day at a time". I cannot remember the artists for the life in me.

63. Of all the people on there. I couldn't for the life of me remember Benny Hill! It played on my mind during the quiz. Boney M too. Couldn't bring it out from the memory banks

1st attempt 65 as ran out of time trying to type the answers, sometimes it didn't seem to accept the right answer no matter how it was typed.

Tried again without typing and got all barr 3 (70's is my era) :-)

Didn't get Woodstock, The Streak and Double Barrel

One thing you can't say about the 70's is that the Number One's lacked variety .... Band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards to Status Quo , Blondie to Telly Savalas, Clive Dunn to Little Jimmy Osmond !! :D

I got all but three, two because I couldn't spell them. The only one I didn't get was the Jacksons.
